Administration of payroll
IMPORTANT:
Outsourcing your payroll functions can normally reduce the costs involved in having payroll trained employees in-house as well as the costs of systems and software needed to process a payroll.
Did you know:
Payroll is a company's list of its employees, but the term is commonly used to refer to:
- the total amount of money that a company pays to its employees
- a company's records of its employees' salaries and wages, bonuses, and withheld taxes
- the company's department that calculates and pays these employees
Payroll in the sense of "money paid to employees" plays a major role in a company for several reasons.
From an accounting perspective, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and because they are subject to laws and regulations
From a human resources viewpoint, the payroll department is critical because employees are sensitive to payroll errors and irregularities:
- Good employee morale requires payroll to be paid timely and accurately.
- The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and that the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner.
This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from salaries.
